Cams Cams
So I have sorted through a million cam posts.
What I have is a bone stock 07 LS2 auto with Z51 package. I am adding CAI, headers, tune from local vette shop.
What I would like is a cam that I can run on the street and track. Not an insane idle, some lope is ok. I am currently looking at :
Torquer 2 Camshaft
232/234 .595/.598
Comp Cam XFI RPM HI-LIFT LSx 54-426-11
222/224 in./ex. duration
.566/.568 in./ex. lift 112 degrees LSA
Comp Cam XFI RPM Cam for LSx Engine 54-418-11
224/228 in./ex. duration
.534/.537 in./ex. lift
112 degrees LSA
Leaning towards this one---
Comp Cam XFI RPM HI-LIFT LSx 54-428-11
228/230 in./ex. duration
.571/.573 in./ex. lift
112 degrees LSA
I know those numbers are all over the place. Just trying to get an idea of what people like and recommend. I would love to hear from tuners and vendors.
Thanks,
Mike

if your keeping the stock stall, go with the smallest cam. my buddies c5 has that Torquer v2 cam in his. Sounds SICK!! he has a 3400 stall, and it only surges at 45mph when the converter initially locks up. it should run better on your bigger 6.0 than his 5.7 and your faster E38 pcm.
combine that Torquer v2 cam and full boltons and youll be close to 450 with your auto.

LS2 A6 Cam
I drive my 2006 A6 every day to work in Vegas. The cam I went with was a Patrick G custom designed 220/228 duration, .564/.571 lift, LSA 114 + 2 on XE lobes. Comp Cams ground the cam and I had a local shop(NRP) install and tune it. The car runs great with no surging, or torque converter issues, plus the idle (650 rpm) is just lumpy enough to be noticed
Additionally, it does not have the dreaded sewing machine valve train noise. As a side note, I used Comp Cams 918 springs.

LS2 A6 Cam
411/391 RWHP/TQ on a Dynojet in Vegas. The car is much stronger throughout the rpm range with a nice torque curve. If you look at my signature, you will see that the car has Texas Speed ported 243 heads and an LS7 Z06 exhaust sytem. Orginal stock RWHP with a dyno tune on the same Dynojet was 343. It knocked 1.5 seconds off the 1/4 mile drag times and added 10 mph.
